The whole scope is actually made from a single tube, which improves alignment for accuracy and makes it stronger. In addition to the reliable reticle, the Strike Eagle scope is also pretty durable overall.
Also, even if the battery dies, you’ll still have the reticle there, since it’s in the glass itself. The battery should last a really long time, even if you never turned the illumination off, and it even comes with the scope.įortunately, if the battery fails, the windage cap can store a spare. The illumination is powered by a CR2032 battery in the cap of the illumination turret. While on the subject of the reticle, I might as well reassure you as to the reliability of the illumination. Overall, I’m very pleased with the accuracy of this scope, despite the thickness of the reticle. Its crosshairs compensate for the bullet drop for up to 600 yards and help hunters achieve shooting precision at greater distances. However, this is a minor drawback if we compare it to what the reticle is providing. On the other, the thickness may detract from its accuracy.
So, on the one hand, the bigger illuminated reticle means that we’re able to see it during the day. Also, some hunters may even consider the reticle itself too busy to make a clean shot. Due to the fact that the illumination encases the black reticle in red light, the reticle becomes a bit bigger when illuminated, which can obstruct the view. Now, with the illumination on, shooting smaller targets may be a bit difficult. However, since the reticle itself is black, it should provide enough contrast during daylight hours as well. That placement will ensure that the reticle remains the same size as you magnify.įurthermore, the reticle has illumination settings with 11 brightness levels to help adjust the reticle at night. The Strike Eagle scope has a horseshoe reticle etched into the second focal plane. Of course, the most important feature which ensures the accuracy of a scope is the reticle. The 6-time magnification which is noted in the product name is a great feature as well, and the target is visible even with both eyes open. It has a clear, fully multi-coated glass to increase light transmission while dealing with glare. The optical features of the Strike Eagle scope make it feel like a medium to high-quality scope, rather than the low-cost product it is. Can this scope really compare to some pricier competitors? In this review, we’ll judge the Strike Eagle’s features according to their accuracy and reliability, as well as the way they look and feel. Without further ado, let’s see exactly what Vortex Optics is offering for such a low cost. It’s pretty much a sure thing, especially since there aren’t many other accurate and clear scopes on the market at its price point. While many new hunters who get low-cost scopes end up disappointed, the Strike Eagle is actually very cost-efficient and packed with excellent features. With that kind of price, I can only think that Vortex Optics is specifically targeting people who are new to the sport.
Vortex Optics is here to prove that claim wrong by offering their Strike Eagle 1-6×24 scope for just a shy amount of $399. Most experienced marksmen will tell you not to expect to find a good rifle scope for under $2,000.
